Our team has a strong record of research impact seen in legislation and policy change. We also seek to transfer our discoveries to achieve impact through development of information resources for parents and professionals working with young children. Team lead, Karen Thorpe has twice (2013, 2019) been named by the Australian Financial Review as among Australia’s 100 Women of Influence for translation of her research into public policy. She is a board member of the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth and chairs Evidence for Learning’s National Early Education Reference group.
